4 E take great pleasure in presenting 


our patrons with our Illustrated

Mere We have availed ourselves of this 
Opportunity to more fully illustrate

on examining our revised Catalogue you will 
readily see that we have greatly increased 
our variety of sizes to meet the constantly 
increasing demand for the Howarth Reversi- 
ble Sash Centers illustrated herein. 
Hoping that our efforts will, as in the 
past, be rewarded by the liberal and con- 
tinued orders of our customers and the 


general trade, we are, 


Yours respectfully, 


THe HowartH REVERSIBLE

REMARKS. 
Mo 


Howarth’s Reversible Sash Centers have been 
on the market over seven years, and are being used and 
recommended by all the leading Architects throughout the 
United States and Canada

Such as Schools, Churches, Office Buildings, Court 
Houses, Post-offices, Railroad Depots, Factories, Car 


Barns, Power Houses, Cotton Mills, etc., etc. 


JQEASONS WHY 


Howarth Reversible 
Sash Centers 
Are at the Head. 


FIRST— 
You can pivot any window made on Howarth 
Reversible Sash Centers. 


SECOND— 
Howarth Reversible Sash Centers are so constructed 
as to enable you to retain a double stop all around 
the sash, thereby making a perfect weather-proof 
window. Hung on pivots. 


THIRD— 
Howarth Reversible Sash Centers are so made as to 
allow the reversing of all windows for cleaning pur- 
poses, and entirely doing away with the danger and 
‘nconvenience of climbing outside to wash windows. 


FOURTH— 
Howarth Reversible Sash Centers are made and 
Gnished in the best possible manner. Every Center 
that we make has machined finish bearings, thereby 
making a Center that will always work smooth and 
perfect. 


FIFTH— 
Howarth Reversible Sash Centers are less expensive 
to use than any other centers made, if the parties 
using them want a weather-proof window and a 
window that will reverse for cleaning.

Howarth’s Reversible 
Sash Center Nos. 10 to 12 


CAN BE USED ON ALL KINDS OF 


... PIVOTED WINDOWS ... 


Hung on sides, except round or elliptical windows, and is especially 
adapted for single sash plank frame factory windows, as it will give the 
whole opening for ventilating purposes, also allowing sash to be reversed 
inside out so as to allow a person to clean both sides of the glass from the 
inside of the building. This way of hanging factory windows is /ess 
expensive than an ordinary DOUBLE SASH PLANK FRAME WINDOW 
and much less expensive than a Double Hung window with a Box Frame. 

This Center is made with a concave and convex joint, machine finished 
and riveted together making weather proof and a perfect working pivot. 
The beveled ears form the bevel of the stops and makes an easy and sub- 
stantial way of fastening pivot to the sash and frame.

The windows are being very largely 
adopted for power houses, car sheds, 
barns, stables, waterworks buildings, 
engine houses, machine shops, ware- 
houses, foundries, cotton mills, rail- 
road depots, etc. 

No inside stops, no blind stops, 
no parting strips, no grooving the 
frame, no reverse rebating. 

Frames can be made by hand as 
quick as by machine by the common- 
est carpenter, 

Fit sash j, slack, put centers on 
sash, stand sash in position, screw 
ears to frame, swing open, and put on 
stops. If wire guards are necessary, 
make them to fasten on the sash. 

They cost very little, are durable, 
give better ventilation, will turn out- 
side inside for cleaning or replacing 
broken glass, or can be fitted and 
hung and glazed after, without taking

Howarth’s Reversible 
Sash Centers Nos. 30 to 34 


Are especially adapted for hanging inside transoms in all classes of Public 
Buildings. It makes the transoms just as tight, when closed, as though it 
was hinged at the top or bottom, and all will agree that a transom hung 
on pivots works much more perfect than when hinged, from the fact the 
transom when pivoted is evenly balanced, consequently does not throw so 
much weight on the transom lift. 

This Center is also used very largely for hanging round or elliptical 
windows as shown on page 14.

Howarth’s Reversible 
Sash Centers Nos. 60 to 65 


Are intended for hanging windows top and bottom, as shown on page 20, 
and should be used in connection with a reverse rebated joint. This. 
Center combines a pivot and casement adjuster, and will hold the window 
at any position, when open for ventilation, without any other fixture. It also 
exerts the same control over the top rail as bottom rail. It has a large 
bearing surface for the sash to rest on. Rebates must be %-inch deep. 

This is certainly the best Center manufactured for extraordinary large 
and heavy windows, and can be used on circular head as well as on square 
windows and transoms. The Centers are to be put on the sash, sash slid 
in place, close the sash and screw plates to head and sill, swing the sash 
outside inside and set glass, reverse sash and plant stopsonframe. Le sure 
and add the drip strip on bottom rail outside. 

Be sure and place a strip of pine 12 to 18 inches long, 54 thick and 
38 wide in the rebate of bottom rail, extending from the center both ways 
for the glass to rest on, for the sharp edge of the glass (weighing, say, from 
200 to 500 lbs.) often indents the wood at the center and the sash rail 
sinks at each end from the pressure 44 to 36 of an inch.

(Sash Center Nos. 97 to 98 


This Center is particularly adapted for pivoting sash hung with weights: 
and cords. It is strong and weather-proof; is quickly and easily applied, 
and the tight rebated joint excludes both weather and sound, making it 
especially adapted for office transoms. The Golden Metal Weather Strip. 
can be used in connection with it, making a perfect joint against dust and 
weather, and we will guarantee a window fitted up in this manner to be 5o. 
per cent. tighter than any window in the market.

Keeps the Cold Out.—No cold drafts can enter around the sash, and it will save 
20 per cent. of your coal. 

Keeps the Dust Out.—It is impossible for dust, dirt, soot, or snow or rain to get 
in, thereby abating this nuisance completely. 

Prevents Windows from Rattling.—It prevents windows from rattling; no mat- 
ter how poorly sash are fitted in the frames, this Weather Strip remedies the defect. 

No Storm=-Windows Necessary.—It saves all annoyance and expense of removing 
storm-windows; once in place always in place; never needs repairing and are much cheaper. 
i Is Indestructible.— Unlike rubber strips that soon rot 
and wear out, this is made of metal that will not rust or 
decay, but will last a lifetime. Windows fitted with these 
Strips can be lowered or raised much easier, as it is metal 
sliding on metal and cannot stick as wood will. They can 
be applied to any sliding sash, either in old or new build- 
ings, and the windows can be removedjand replaced at will 
by any one. oe Si ae
